Please note that the Classic’s DHCP protocol implementation usually takes a few seconds up to a minute
to update the network settings. If the network settings do not update within a minute, please consult the
troubleshooting section.
Static IP
The Classic supports static IP address allocation. In this mode you can assign the Classic a specific IP
address. This lets you set up things like port forwarding from your router or for networks with static IP
allocations.
 Press Main Menu
 Scroll to NET menu and press the Enter button
 Highlight and select STATIC
 Using the left and right keys, navigate to the settings to change and use the up and down arrows to adjust
the desired fields.
 Press the COMMIT softkey at any time to commit the settings to the Classic’s Flash memory.
Please note that static settings span two menu screens. You may use the soft keys to navigate between the
two menus. Pressing the ENTER key in either menu saves all settings to Flash memory.
For convenience when you manually set the device’s IP address the Gateway and Primary DNS addresses
follow the change. See the following sections for details on each of these fields.
IP Address
This is the local network address of your Classic. It usually takes the form “192.169.0/1.x” or “10.0.0.x”
depending on your networking equipment. You must be careful when selecting this address. If it does not
match your network subnet then the classic will not be able to communicate with the network. If it is the
same as another device on the network then collisions will occur causing both devices to act erratically.
Check your router settings or ask your network administrator which local address to use. Also refer to the
troubleshooting section for tips.
Subnet
This refers to the class of local network you are using. This depends on your network hardware but most
users should use “255.255.255.0” for this field.
Gateway
This is the address of your router or modem – the device which is connected directly to the Internet
proper. It will usually take the form 192.168.0/1.1 or 10.0.0.1 depending on your network configuration
and hardware. Check your router settings or ask your network administrator which local address to use.
Also refer to the troubleshooting section for tips.
DNS 1 & 2
The DNS is the means by which human-readable internet addresses are resolved to actual IP addresses on
the network. These values can usually be set identically to the gateway address depending on your
network hardware. If your ISP provides you with specific DNS servers then use those addresses in these
fields instead.
Example 1: Your gateway is a DSL modem with address 192.168.1.1. If your ISP has not given you
explicit DNS servers to use then set the D1 field to 192.168.1.1. D2 can be ignored.
Example 2: Your gateway is a cable modem with address 10.0.0.1. Your ISP has specified primary and
secondary DNS server addresses of 11.22.33.44 and 11.22.33.55, respectively. Set the D1 address to
11.22.33.44 and the D2 address to 11.22.33.55.
